Research projects with business partners

Examples of current and recent cooperation with private and public companies.

InterAct

InterAct stands for Interaction in Actuarial Science and forms the framework for research and education in the area of insurance and pensions in collaboration with eight of the countries insurance companies and pension funds. The vision for InterAct is to elevate the department’s research and education activities with and towards the industry by creating significant increases in volume, variation, and practical relevance to the benefit of all parties.

Metabolic processes (STATLAB)

In collaboration with clinical researchers, we have analyzed data to understand various metabolic processes better, for example the effect of physical training on insulin sensitivity and fat distribution, or how the selenium is absorbed and how metabolism functions in the liver, stomach, plasma and intestines.

Future Electricity Markets (5s)

The aim of 5s is to develop a scientific framework for the design of future electricity markets in response to the increasing deployment of renewable energy. To account for the intermittency of renewable generation and the accompanying need for flexibility in conventional generation, the project relies on optimization under uncertainty and quantifies the impacts on social welfare, operating strategies and investment incentives.
